The strength of the magnetic field.
Answer to Problem 66A
The strength of magnetic field is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A wire, 0.5 m long and carrying a current of 8 A is kept in a uniform magnetic field at an angle of
Formula Used:
The force acting on a wire carrying current is dependent on the strength of magnetic field, the current, length of the wire and the angle which the wire makes with the magnetic field. It is mathematically expressed as,
For a given force and the remaining parameters, the strength of magnetic field can be determined as,
Calculation:
Here a wire of length
Conclusion:
The strength of magnetic field for the given conditions is 0.1 T.
